Where to eat breakfast in Hong Kong: Let’s take a moment to appreciate pancakes and acai bowls

Breakfast is so underrated! Start your day eating a healthy acai bowl or a crispy croissant because you deserve it

Lovers of eggs, pancakes, waffles and avocado toasts, we have scoured the city high and low for the best cafes in Hong Kong to drink coffee and indulge yourself (including dog-friendly cafes). Whether you’re looking to fuel up post-workout or just want some alone time with your perfectly-cooked eggs Benedict, here is where you want to eat breakfast in Hong Kong.

Where to eat breakfast in Hong Kong

Wondering where to eat breakfast in Hong Kong? This list will have you sorted before the toast is done.

Our favourite places to have breakfast in Hong Kong, Catch is all about large portions of wonderful breakfast food. We love the Dirty Eggs that feature fried eggs, paprika potatoes, avocado and chipotle mayo ($148), and you can’t go passed the Big Bad Ben, complete with poached eggs, bacon, avocado, chorizo and hash browns ($158). The food at Catch is all made with love, but you’ll have to wait until the weekends, as it only does breakfast from 9am on Saturdays and Sundays.

Elephant Grounds has locations around the city, and makes breakfast treats that will have you full and happy in no time. All totally Instagram-worthy, try the Spinach Mushroom Omelette ($85), heavenly Peanut Butter Toast with caramelised bananas ($65) or keep it healthy with an Acai Bowl ($85). Don’t forget to try one of their coffees or matcha lattes too. Breakfast in Hong Kong doesn’t get much better.

We are madly in love with Noc, especially as it’s just around the corner from our office! These guys do an amazing coffee, even with soy milk, and you will want to accompany that with some of their gorgeous avocado toast, that doesn’t skimp on the good stuff. Noc is open from 8am and has branches across the city that serve some of the tastiest breakfast in Hong Kong.

Serving breakfast from 8am – making it a great option for a business breakfast, Feather & Bone has a selection of totally delicious breakfast treats. If you are in a hurry, they have a $40 coffee and croissant/pain au chocolat combo, or eat in and keep it simple with Eggs Your Way for just $80, or get your millenial fix with the Avocado, Goats Curd and Lemon ($100). Wash whatever you choose down with a cup of their own-brand fab coffee, and you will be good to go.

Stack

Another tasty breakfast location only open on the weekends from 11am (sad face), Stack is known for its perfectly fluffy pancakes, served with wildberries, honey or ham. They also whip up a pretty mighty mushroom omelette ($80), and serve a range of eggs, hash and french toast options. Just be sure to book in advance, as Stack is an imtimate little joint.

Supabowl

If you are looking for a healthy morning fix, then Supabowl in Wan Chai will be your go-to spot. Creating Acai Bowls that are made to order with your favourite goodies, such as bee pollen, cacao nibs, nuts and berries, Supabowl is all about balancing delicious flavours with healthy ingredients and the bowls look amazing too.

Another healthy breakfast option in Hong Kong, Nood Food is the perfect stop-off post-gym and pre-work. We love their probiotic coconut yoghurt and selection of smoothies and juices, but they also offer a selection of hot options and coffee to takeaway or eat in.

We are all about breakfast meetings, and Commissary above Pacific Place is one of the best places to talk shop and simultaneously fuel up. Try their huevos rancheros, or opt for the pancakes, and sip on a tasty Redback coffee as you get down to business from 8am on weekdays (and 11am on weekends.)

Bakehouse

Hands up if you liked baked goods! Bakehouse in Wan Chai is all about creating steaming hot pastries and delicious goodies straight from the oven. We can’t get enough of their gorgeous danish pastries that are filled with fresh fruit; a great breakfast in Hong Kong for those who don’t have much time on their hands.

The Cupping Room in Sheung Wan does a really good breakfast, and we are particularly partial to their house home-cured salmon and egg dishes. Avocado toast fans will love what they’re offering, and we hear the French Toast is spot on. They’re open from 8am on weekdays and 9am on weekends.

Corner Kitchen Cafe

A neighbourhood institution in Sheung Wan, Corner Kitchen Cafe makes some of the tastiest breakfast treats in town. Pop in from 8am every day and enjoy tasty Huevos Rancheros ($90), Vanilla Pancakes ($70) or a hearty Breakfast Burrito ($85). They also have a range of fresh juices, smoothies and coffee for your drinking pleasure.

Fineprint

Another great breakfast spot in Central, Fineprint opens from 6am on weekdays and 8am on weekends, making a great location for a pre-work fix. The avocado and salmon toast with harissa is damn good, and this crew makes some of the best coffee in town – hands down.

Sophie Cullen

Sophie traded mountains, sheep and hobbits for East Asia back in 2004, and she’s never looked back. After k-popping through South Korea, she landed in Hong Kong in 2013, where her weekends are spent scouring the city to add to her vinyl collection and trying to locate the perfect vegetarian dumpling.
